Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of negativeemotionality through inhibitory control on the relationship between maternal parenting andaggression. Methods: Participants were 277 toddlers, who were 24 to 35 months, and their mothers andhomeroom teachers. A scale of toddlers aggression: TBC (12 questions), a scale of inhibitory control:BRIEF-P (16 questions), a scale of negative emotionality: ECBQ-short (12 questions) and a scale ofmother’s parenting sensitivity (9 questions) were used. Data were analyzed for the moderatedmediating effect between variables using PROCESS macro methods. Results: The main findings were as follows. First, inhibitory control mediated the relationship betweenmothers’ parenting sensitivity and aggression of toddlers. Second, negative emotionality significantlymoderated the relationship between mothers’ parenting sensitivity and inhibitory control. Last, themediating effect of inhibitory control was moderated by negative emotionality in the relation betweenmothers’ parenting sensitivity and aggression of toddlers. Conclusion: These results support Belsky’s differential susceptibility model. When the level ofnegative emotionality is average or above, the more sensitive and responsive the increase inmaternal parenting behavior through inhibition control, which has been confirmed to reduceaggression. Implications of the intervention of early intervention program and parent education arealso discussed. KCI Citation Count: 0
